It should, once it's installed and you go through the pairing process. If you have any signal level issues, (don't ask me how I know) you can get a 3 foot USB extension cable to locate the device in a better location.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.So, Here I am answering my own question. YES! This transmitter does work with Mint Linux v.20 and the Sony receiver Bluetooth function. It was plug and play on the first try and instantly recognized by the Sony receiver with no additional set-up necessary. There's no lag and the sound quality is excellent from a distance of about 8 feet away. This removes one whole lot of hassle with running hard wire in a crowded retail setting in a very old building.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thats going to be more dependent on your linux distro and how good the drivers support is. I will mention that while it will connect to a blue tooth audio device, there are bluetooth adapters that are audio focused and support A2DP and HD Codecs etc
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The answer is yes. If you cold plug it and then boot the desktop (Mint Linux v.20) it is immediately recognized. Upon a pairing request from the client device (Sony receiver) it paired and transmits audio flawlessly from (at least) 10 feet away without any further adaptation.
